For Bleeding Disorder "I am 49 years young and was prescribed this med for long-lasting, extremely heavy, clotting periods. At my wit's end, the doctor prescribed 2 tabs (TDS) 3x daily. It has been 24 hours now, what an improvement! I noticed improvement overnight. I went from using super pads every 2 hours to a panty liner today. No side effects (as yet). What a relief! I won't use it all the time, but it's good to have on hand when needed."

For Bleeding Disorder "I used this drug to help with excessive period bleeding. 2 days later, I was rushed to the ER for a possible TIA (mini stroke). Symptoms: couldn’t see, headache, couldn’t speak, couldn’t read. This lasted for about 3 hours. Had to stay overnight in the ICU. Had a CT scan and all sorts of tests done to check for blood clots, etc. Completely freaked me out."

For Bleeding Disorder "I was recommended this tablet a week ago, and all it's done is made the bleeding worse. Going back to the doc tomorrow. I fear something is terribly wrong. Wish I had the positive experiences being shared."

"I've had a termination of pregnancy (TOP) done a month ago, and they gave me a depo shot after the process. I've been on my period ever since. I'd rest for a day or two, then back to bleeding again. I then got Cyklokapron about two days ago, and all it does is minimize the bleeding, yet I have brown spotting every day, and I'm on my third day taking it. I need to have my life back. I can't even have sex, it's frustrating me. What can I take to completely stop the bleeding altogether, at least for three days?"

For Bleeding Disorder "I have been having massive period pains for about a month after my miscarriage, been on tranexemic, and still didn't respond. I took the Cyklokapron because a long time ago when I stopped my contraceptive, it kicked in just after 2 days. OOOOOOOOOH LORD, I was starting to go insane with this madness and sickness, and now all that has been resolved by this medication. Thank you to my doctor, Naidoo, in Langa, Cape Town, for the prescription, you awesome doctor."

For Bleeding Disorder "I am using these 2 tablets every 6 hours, and it has slowed down the bleeding but not completely gone yet. The only side effect I noticed and still have, which is horrible, is stomach cramps and diarrhea."

For Heavy Menstrual Bleeding "I take Cyklokapron 500 mg, 2 tabs 3 times a day for 4 days, along with 2 tablets of Naproxen twice a day, famotidine one tablet twice a day. I am 47 years old and am suffering since 2 years. Fibroids (stable size) but excessive bleeding requiring changes in double pads every 3 hours! The tablets are wonderful and I am very happy. Reduction in blood flow by 70%. No side effects. Have tried it for 1 cycle and plan to continue."
